I have been without my computer for going on 3 weeks. I have access to the Internet through The Husband's work laptop but am without my digi files and *GASP* my Silhouette. So I had to get a little creative with this one, but isn't that what we crafter's do best, lol?!?
I followed the sketch at the Stella Says Sketch Challenge. I used my Prismacolor pencils on my image and bought some blending stumps at Michael's. A little baby oil for blending and voila! LOVE the way it turned out. Also used my Frost Blue Copic B00 to outline my image. My sentiment in hand written. Not something you see very often but The Husband's work laptop is not connected to our printer. The maple leaves were added using my parent's printer. Thank goodness they live nearby. I also used their printer to print my digi image. Cute little colored safety pin makes the perfect embellishment for a boy's card.
My lessons learned:
I was very afraid that the baby oil would tear my cardstock. I just used regular white cardstock. However, it held together perfectly and as a side bonus my card smells pretty great too ;o)

This is ADORABLE! Your nephew is going to love this card - Just perfect for our "For a Child" challenge at Aud Sentiments. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
This is just adorable. I love this little skateboarding image. Your nephew is going to love this. I love how you did the hand written sentiment. You do what you have to do sometimes. I wanted a sentiment last week on my card that I wanted in white and so I hand wrote mine too. Thanks for sharing with the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge. I hope you have a blessed day!

What a fab card for a boy! Love the ribbon with the blue pin. I am now a follower of your blog. Thank you for your super comments on my card. I have now listed all the supplies I used to make the card. Jace had a fantastic day and totally LOVED his first taste of birthday cake. He couldn't get enough. Take care.
